What proof do you have that the sweeper actually passed?
Don't see why a Judge would dismiss the ticket. Downtown, the Parking Authority often come in pairs and writes tickets, you may have come after the first guy, but not the 2nd.

Has anyone ever got a ticket after the sweeper left ? If the sign states no parking 8am to 10 am and the sweeper comes at 8:05 am and you get a ticket at 9:30 am. Technicaly you are violating the street sweeping sign this is how they do it in Manhattan but the parking authority in Manhattan does not follow the sweeper as they do here in J.C.

Quote:
For comparison, one need only look as far as Newport. Mocco's original plans back in the mid 1980s called for a gated community more along the lines of Avalon Cove than the current city. New Urbanism's importance is mostly a result of a reaction to the high Modern ideals. Mid-century urban planning was heavily influenced by Le Corbusier's plan for Paris.. That is, large open tracks of green space punctuated with high rise residential towers connected by a series of car friendly roadways. Some great examples of this style are Peter Cooper Village / Stuyvesant Town, Chicago's Robert Taylor Homes, and of course, LeFrak City, Queens. There are a number of key components that Newport shares with these mid 20th century designs that New Urbanism communities like Liberty Harbor North attempt to correct. First, Newport gives precedence to automobile traffic. New Urbanist ideals call for creating walkable communities. In a city with masst transit, this should seem like an obvious design component. But Newport has both a PATH station and a light rail stop, yet the car is obviously a major factor in the design of the neighborhood. Parking garages dominate Newport's streetscapes. Washignton Boulevard is a major six lane roadway that severs the community in two. Newport is about cars, New Urabnism communities like Liberty Harbor North are about walking and mass transit. Second, 20th century urban design calls for a delineation between public and private spaces, while New Urbanism emphasizes the public sphere. Newport has a number of gated, private green spaces. The dog park is only for Newport residents and theoretically, so are the playgrounds (though children, unlike dogs do not need to be registered with management). In essence, Newport creates private enclaves that shut out the general public. Historic urban construction and New Urbanism both seek to create public spaces. The great parks of New York City were largely created as public green spaces. Boston Common was literally a common green space shared by the public. In Newport, even commerce takes place in private spaces -- the mall -- rather than in a traditionally public venue like the street. In Liberty Harbor North, there is no interior mall, but retail accessible from the streets. Third, New Urbanism strives for a 24 hour a day neighborhood, while Newport segregates shopping, working, and living. 20th Century planning calls for a clear separation of the various components of life. Thus suburban tract homes have sidewalks that go nowhere because there is no place to go-- retail and offices are segregated from residential areas. The same is true in Newport. Offices line Washignton Blvd. The residences are clustered around Newport Parkway. Retail is contained in the Newport mall. While some of Newport's residential towers have limited retail space, these are mostly services to support the residences, not actual destination retail. Newport is very segmented. By contrast, Liberty Harbor North has integrated retail, residences, and eventually offices. Its truly a mixed use community with residential units stacked on top of retail, and eventually, next to offices. Liberty Harbor North could have easily become another Newport. Indeed, it almost became a gated community. But with the New Urbanist ideals, it became a much more traditional urban neighborhood, which is ultimately the whole point of New Urbanism. That said, there are a few criticisms I have of Newport. First, the streets are too wide. The current streets have a huge distance between the base of the buildings on either side, and enough room for a gentle curve to the street while keeping the building line straight. The problem I have with this is that the great urban neighborhoods of the world have narrow streets. Look at the old quarter in Rome, the west village in New york, or colonial Boston. Even in Jersey City most of the historic streets are more narrow than those in Liberty Harbor. Second, some of the architectural choices have me baffled. Specifically, some of the 'brownstone' units have rather oversized white railings, which look like they belong to a suburban McMansion rather than an urban brownstone. Further, while I understand they were trying to artificially create the sense of an organic city with a varied architectural style, it is both too much and not enough at the same time. That is, some of the designs repeat on the different streets-- meaning there is not enough variety in the building shapes. At the same time, historic districts, especially brownstone districts, tend to have much less variety in design on each block than LHN has. That is, organic cities tend to be built at at the same time and in a similar style, block by block. While many of the historic blocks have slight variations in each house, most have common traits. LHN is so wildly varied that the houses simply look incongruous next to each other.

I read a few postings that people have paid downwards of $400k for a brownstone, which really is a decent price being so close to the city since I work in Manhattan and having the features they say they have included- maybe that pricing is incorrect but that's why I am inquiring about it. I work a lot so I don't have a lot of time to go check out all the condos in NJ available so I was hoping to get some insight by how people respond. Either way, the responses have been helpful in their own way and if anyone else has any suggestions or comments, I would love to hear them. Thanks!

The State SPCA is as guilty as Hector and Zoe and only when it becomes apparent that the assets and property are about to go bye bye, does the State SPCA come in and revoke the charter.
They had the power over these many many years to stop the abuse, cruelty and thievery that went on in that hell hole. But instead, they were partners in it. Shame on the State SPCA and shame on the NJ State government for allowing the archaic SPCA rogue operation to continue as it does. We must demand better for our animals.

Wowsers. It's sad that no local contractors were hired to work on the job, but I find it particularly bizarre that their commercial property will be for Whitlock Mills residents only. Maybe I am confused about what their intentions are for their commercial property, but wouldn't most retailers want to be open to the greater community and not behind some sort of gate (especially as Bergen-Lafayette continues along its gentrification path)? Plus, I am quite sure that existing Bergen-Lafeyette residents would also appreciate some fresh retail options. It seems like a weird strategy to attract retailers and boost community support.

Health concerns at new county building
Union officials question readiness of County Plaza By Al Sullivan Hudson Reporter 07/01/2008 Just when the Hudson County Freeholders thought they'd solved their problems about aging buildings, union representatives say that moving into the new County Plaza building in Jersey City may have its own woes. In early June, several freeholders reviewed conditions at the welfare offices in the Journal Square area, noting safety and health problems at the sites. While the Hudson County administration took action to solve some of these problems, freeholders said the best solution was to move up the date when the welfare offices would be relocated to a newly renovated former Block Drug site near Montgomery Street. But Roger Quintana, president of the AFSCME Local 2306, said he has health concerns about the new facility, citing allegedly peeling paint and the possibility of mold. "I saw a tremendous amount of flaking and peeling paint and what appeared to be mold on the ceiling throughout the facility," he said. "When I asked the construction official, we were told that the ceiling was not going to be cleaned, but rather, a drop ceiling [would be] installed under the peeling and flaking paint. I was told that the black spots, which appeared to be mold, were not [mold]. I requested that it be checked." County Administrator Abe Antun said the county has already conducted environmental investigations, including testing for asbestos and lead paint, as well as the completion of air samplings. Antun said he has requested a copy of the reports and will give them to Quintena to assure him of the building's safety. "Regarding the black spots that Mr. Quintana believes to be mold, I was told that the black spots are the residue from removing the old piping of the sprinkler system," Antun said. "The contractor is responsible for removing all the black spots on the walls and ceilings." The flaking paint, however, will remain in some areas. "Since the testing of the paint did not reveal lead, it was the recommendation of the project team to leave the flaking paint on the ceiling since it will be covered by the drop ceilings," Antun said. Meanwhile, concerns were once more raised about the existing welfare offices. While the county took action to cleanup problems raised last month, a triggered fire alarm raised concerns amongst some employees because the system apparently is not connected to the Jersey City Fire Department. Antun, in a report to a request from the freeholders, said workers are safe. "I have been able to learn that the fire alarm system is not tied into the Jersey City Fire Department, but is provided by a vendor named Supreme Security System," he said. "If the alarm goes off, it sends a signal to Supreme Security and they relay that signal to the Jersey City Fire Department. This was the system the previous owner had in place when we took over the building." Antun said the vendor will be reviewing the system to correct the problem. "The sheriff will provide an hourly patrol when the building is not occupied," he said. "During the day, the sheriff provides security in the building."

Jersey Journal's Politicial Insider: Who's up, who's down in Hudson County power rankings

Who's up, who's down in Hudson power rankings
The Jersey Journal Politicial Insider Column Wednesday, July 02, 2008 For the fun of it, The Political Insider decided to do a mid-term power ranking of Hudson County's most influential politicians. The last time we did a list was after at the start of the new year. We will continue to make January the primary ranking and it might even be expanded from 10 to 25 and include more nonelected personalities. Here is a recap of the last ranking. No. 1 then was Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy, who is also chairman of the Hudson County Democratic Organization. Then, from top to bottom, came Brian P. Stack, Union City mayor and state senator, Nicholas Sacco, North Bergen mayor and state senator, Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner, County Executive Tom DeGise, U.S. Rep. Albio Sires, state Sen. Sandra B. Cunningham, Jersey City Councilman Steven Fulop, Assemblyman Ruben Ramos of Hoboken, and Assemblyman Anthony Chiappone, who is also a Bayonne councilman. For the mid-term list, some fell out of the top 10 and new names are on it. Here they are. Let us leave Healy at the top since not much has changed, except he has more campaign money, successfully (or luckily) backed Barack Obama, and has more worries. No. 2 is Cunningham. The senator is creating quite a stir in the county seat. Everyone is waiting to hear whether she challenges Healy for his crown or supports him. She is at the center of the Jersey City universe and all other politicians are waiting for the supernova. No. 3 is Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise. He has gone up a rung or two on the ladder because of his successful re-election. Despite denials, he is among the HCDO hierarchy that influences municipal race results. Healy cannot win re-election without support from DeGise and those county minions. No. 4 is the old reliable, Sacco. He still has influence across the county because of the number of seats he controls in various agencies. No. 5 is Stack, who could have fallen several more rungs after not taking stronger stands against the HCDO. Yet, he still controls the 33rd District and expects his influence to spread into the Jersey City Heights. What does not kill you, yadda, yadda. He did not fall further because of the very weak roster of county politicians. No. 6 is someone who has not even won an election - Bayonne Police Director Mark Smith. No knock on Smith, but remember what we were saying about the lackluster collection of electeds? Smith is favored to win the special mayoral election in November over former Judge Patrick Conaghan because he has the support of the local Democratic organization and the HCDO. Bayonne can again become an influential city, should the Dems get their act together. If Conaghan wins, pencil him in here. No. 7 may be controversial. It is reserved for former Jersey City Mayor and unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor Bret Schundler. While he has not "officially" announced he is running for mayor, he is working hard to put together a ticket and a campaign. Schundler is a definite danger to Healy - and to Fulop. Should Cunningham run, Healy would have to beat out Schundler for a possible runoff spot. No. 8 is West New York Mayor Sal Vega. And just when you thought he was dead. He has been keeping his nose clean in Stack's 33rd District. He has backed Stack's play in several issues and has been a model neighbor. Not that the Union City mayor is ready to turn his back. Apparently, at a local Dem reorganization meeting, Vega made a speech to the faithful that the day will come when they will reclaim the Assembly seat occupied by local Caridad Rodriguez and the one in Congress occupied by Sires. No. 9 are both Sires and his chief of staff for the state, Turner. They are dropping like a stone because of the deal Turner worked out with the HCDO that placed Sires on the HCDO column on the primary ballot. They no longer have assurances from Stack that he will watch Sires' back. Even the Jersey City mayor (whoever that might be) will want the congressional seat for his city. No. 10 is a tough one. This is a wild card allowing the Insider to name several people. From Hoboken we will just list those three potential mayoral favorites. They are City Council members Beth Mason, Michael Russo and Peter Cammarano. Mason is here by virtue of her ability to raise funds and noise, Russo because of his old-style organization, and Cammarano because he is the most likely to head a coalition slate - and the reason the first two have surrogates attacking him. No Mantoloking vacations for this group. Add former Assemblyman Lou Manzo, turned public advocate, who will either run for mayor in Jersey City and try for a Tom Vezzetti-like voter response, or wind up in the Cunningham camp should she choose to run.

State SPCA pulls Hudson unit's charter
Wednesday, July 02, 2008 By BRIAN T. MURRAY NEWHOUSE NEWS SERVICE The New Jersey State Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has suspended the charter of its Hudson County chapter, which operated the Jersey City animal shelter where the carcasses of 15 animals were removed from an unplugged freezer more than a week ago. The state SPCA took the action over the weekend through a letter issued to the Hudson County SPCA, operator of a Johnston Street shelter that Jersey City authorities shut down in April and continue to probe. The carcasses of eight dogs, six cats and a goat were found in the freezer last week after officials were told of a stench coming from the building, which has been the target of vandalism. Authorities say the carcasses may have been the remains of animals euthanized before the shelter was shut down. The nonprofit, private Hudson County SPCA is ultimately answerable to the state organization, which probes animal abuse cases in the state and is responsible for reining in troubled chapters. But it was Jersey City that obtained a court order shutting down the shelter on allegations of being substandard. The city and activists also have demanded a financial accounting from the shelter director, Hector Carbajales. A Superior Court judge last week appointed another shelter, Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City, as temporary receiver for the Johnston Avenue operation. "The judge ordered that Liberty Humane can secure the property, investigate the financial status of the shelter and check what was done with animals that came in and out of the shelter over the past three years," said Jennifer Morrill, spokeswoman for Jersey City. The state SPCA contends it is obligated to launch its own probe. "This is an institution that we regulate," said Matt Stanton, a spokesman for the state SPCA. "With the developments that became public last week, we decided to take this action."

 Charge mailman with coke sales to street dealers across the city Wednesday, July 02, 2008 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A Jersey City letter carrier moonlighting in the drug distribution business was arrested after police found 170 grams of cocaine in his Lafayette section home during a search, officials said yesterday. "Mr. (Joseph A.) Tuzzo allegedly was a supplier to street-level dealers, not only in the Lafayette section, but in other neighborhoods in Jersey City," Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said of Tuzzo, who was arrested on May 7. "There was substantial follow-up investigation that caused this announcement to be delayed." When police searched the 36-year-old's home at Lafayette and Halladay streets on May 7 they found roughly $4,600 worth of cocaine, a "press" used to compact and package kilogram-size quantities of cocaine, a digital scale, and numerous plastic bags used for packaging the drug, officials said yesterday. Investigators also seized more than $2,000 in suspected narcotics proceeds. Tuzzo was charged with possession with intent to distribute more than 5 ounces of cocaine, and possession with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school and within 500 feet of public property, officials said, adding that he faces 10 to 20 years in prison if convicted. DeFazio said the investigation leading to Tuzzo's arrest was triggered by information from concerned citizens about the activity at Tuzzo's home, which the prosecutor described as his base of operation. It does not appear that Tuzzo was selling drugs while making his rounds for the U.S. Postal Service. Tuzzo has been employed by the USPS as a temporary letter carrier since last September and he worked out of the Bergen North Post Office on Bergen Avenue in Jersey City, officials said. In March 2007, Tuzzo was sentenced to one year probation after being convicted of possession gambling records in a case that included several co-defendants, according to court records. Tuzzo's bail was set at $150,000 cash or bond after his recent arrest, but a judge later reduced it to $50,000, officials said.

Cops beef up patrols after double shooting
Wednesday, July 02, 2008 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER City and county law enforcement have stepped up patrols and undercover operations at Jersey City's A. Harry Moore Public Housing Complex in the wake of Wednesday's double shooting that left one man dead, officials yesterday said. "Legitimate residents of the public housing sites should be able to live in relative peace and security," Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said. "Trespassers, which are responsible for many of the issues at these sites, have to be deterred. The drug dealing has to be reduced, obviously, by cutting down on demand and hitting dealers in their pockets." Last week's murder of Terrell Martin, 24, of Claremont Avenue, and the critical wounding of Husain Booker, 27, of Armstrong Avenue, at the Duncan Avenue complex may have been payback for a robbery at a dice game a day or two earlier, DeFazio said. The men, who appear to have known each other, were shot with semiautomatic pistols by at least two people who approached them from behind at about 11:30 p.m. Neither of the guns were found, but a third revolver that had not been fired was found at the scene. Police are not sure if the gun belonged to one of the victims, DeFazio said. Martin was shot through the neck and chest and was pronounced dead shortly afterward, officials said. Booker remains hospitalized at an undisclosed location because he is an escapee, DeFazio said. His condition was not known last night. Booker went missing from the CUE Ogden halfway house in Newark in July 2006 while finishing a sentence for drug convictions, officials said. DeFazio noted that neither Booker or Martin lived at the complex. He also said that there were witnesses to the shooting. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office's Homicide Squad at (201) 915-1345.

never understood the big deal about "new urbanism" ideas that were used to create a new town in the swamps, being applied to an existing city like Jersey City, a few blocks from direct subway to NYC (less than 10min) and a LRT line, the only benefit has been for it to be stated on the cover sheets of redevelopment plan that are rubber stamped ....

Report all carts you see to be picked up at: JCIA Inspectors Line - (201) 432-4645 ext.671 Thanks, Jaah

200 years from now, once JC has finally been destroyed by overpopulation, corrupt local government, gang on gang violence (Go Team Yuppie!) and density of high-rises causing both Newport and Paulus Hook to break off and sink...
...after all that.... ...the shopping carts will remain. Like the cockroaches. Cockroaches and BJ's shopping carts. Perfect Together.

It seems to me that if they were half as diligent about stopping people from wheeling carts off the premises as they are busting mall shoppers who use the parking lot, we'd see a lot fewer carts downtown. To be fair, I saw a red cart with garbage in it on Barrow between Columbus and Newark (across the street from Brick Haus). Turned out it was a Target cart. Anyway, the shopping cart problem seems to be reaching epidemic proportions.
